Within the last few years, our local communities have lost many lives by suicide. The ripples can be felt throughout the homes of friends, family, co-workers, and even strangers.
On October 1st, I will attempt to run from Guelph to Goderich, ON on the G2G trail (Approx. 130km) to raise money for Crisis Services Canada; an incredible group of people who speak to those in Crisis, and literally save lives.
It is my belief that almost everyone will deal with the effects or thoughts of suicide in their lifetime. I believe we all have a story, and that we can help each other through difficult times - of any magnitude.
After watching many people close to me go through the effects, I felt that this conversation needs to be louder and in front of the eyes of everyone.
I feel compelled to help in any way I can, and this is my way of doing so.
Thank you for all the support leading up to this announcement, and moving forward.
